Community Tasting Notes 19

June 3, 2016 - Not bad but not good: non-descript. Either shut down or over the hill. Because it's a Louis Michel, I root for the latter, but this bottle was my last, so I'll have to rely on others' notes from here out.

January 18, 2016 - This wine was deliciously fat young, went through a lean, miserly period, and is now very fine, combining delicacy of mineral picquancy with firm acid structure and sumptuous fruit, and continuing to develop well for a couple of days after opening. Open one now, if you have a few. What a good source!

October 25, 2014 - This bottle was in a very nice place, plump and cosseting in texture, but with fine Chablis 1er swamp water and minerality so persistent it almost tastes sweet. I wonder if, with additional time, the texture will relax, revealing even more character - but it's so good now that no remorse attends opening one at this stage.

September 18, 2014 - Wow, this is showing really well right now. Stephen points out the pineapple notes immediately after uncorking. To me, the pineapple is unsweetened and non-tropical, and there is a big white citrus component as well, along with chalk and slate notes. Lots of energy and acidity, and the palate is very dry, with a very long finish. Bottle 6 of 6 and this one was excellent. Lunch at JoJo with Stephen V.
